Example
start "C:\Program Files\RoboTask\RoboTaskRuntime.exe" "C:\Users\daniel.kendall\Notepad.tsk"
works
Example
start "C:\Program Files\RoboTask\RoboTaskRuntime.exe" "C:\Users\daniel.kendall\OneDrive - Ideagen plc\Desktop\Notepad.tsk"
doesn't work and gets cut off at the first space.
This is despite wrapping it in quotes which normally solves this re:cli

Do you use the command START in CMD/batch file?

That is how I would start a program from the CLI it wouldn't work otherwise (Illegal expression)
The bat files from robotask don't do that though and use a different executable e.g.
"C:\Program Files\RoboTask\RTaskRun.exe" $6CD53B88

The command line
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\RoboTask\RoboTaskRuntime.exe" "C:\Users\daniel.kendall\OneDrive - Ideagen plc\Desktop\Notepad.tsk"
should work
If you want to use command
START you must use something like this:
Code: Select all
start "Single task" "C:\Program Files\RoboTask\RoboTaskRuntime.exe" "C:\Users\daniel.kendall\OneDrive - Ideagen plc\Desktop\Notepad.tsk"
1-st parameter in quotes after START command is the title.

If you use the program name in quotes (and parameters too) the
title parameter is required

In powershell specifically the behavior is different.
Start-Process: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'C:\Users\daniel.kendall\OneDrive - Ideagen plc\Desktop\Notepad.tsk'.

If you use PowerShell you have to use such command line
Code: Select all
start-process "C:\Program Files\RoboTask\RoboTaskRuntime.exe" "`"C:\Users\daniel.kendall\OneDrive - Ideagen plc\Desktop\Notepad.tsk`""
Pay attention to the symbol
`
or such command line
Code: Select all
start-process -filepath "C:\Program Files\RoboTask\RoboTaskRuntime.exe" -ArgumentList "`"C:\Users\daniel.kendall\OneDrive - Ideagen plc\Desktop\Notepad.tsk`""
I tested this on my computer
When I use such command line
Code: Select all
start-process "C:\Program Files\RoboTask\RoboTaskRuntime.exe" "C:\Users\olegyershov\OneDrive\Test task.tsk"
I get the error:
Code: Select all
E: 14.11.2022 13:21:38: Task "C:\Users\olegyershov\OneDrive\Test" does not exist
If I use this
Code: Select all
start-process "C:\Program Files\RoboTask\RoboTaskRuntime.exe" "`"C:\Users\olegyershov\OneDrive\Test task.tsk`""
the task works without problem
